Thanks - removed avatar- no problem there.No problem with Maps, QMB,or nearly anything else.I am aware of using Mods folder & its difference from the non working -Mods version. All this is old hat... adding stuff has always been easy & for the most part straight forward & I know this is probably a problem in the way I am trying to add new aircraft, not in Up2.1 at all.It is a great utility.
Here's what I have done , with no success so far: I've tried two aircraft ( aircraft that easily installed in HFSX4.1- so I know they work..) the Ta-183 light & the fully loaded PBY- both from SAS.Lets just take the Ta-183. I put the Hucky folder into Mods. I take the line for air & put it in the Mods/STD/_/_/ air file & I put the line from plane in the Mods/STD/i18n/plane file. No joy.
Where I may be going wrong is here- see if this sounds right: I took the STD folder from the -Mods folder- why there was one there I'm not quite sure( again I blame myself for some earlier slip up..) Maybe I should do as you recommend- create a new STD folder using 1l18n,com,and gui from my File folder,correct so far? I still add the folder for the new plane in the Mods folder & repeat the proceedure for adding new lines in air,plane & weapons ( when I need to.)Now the plane should show up in various places in the game ( I always look for it first in QMB tho...)
May I ask one technical question? Why does the Gui need to be in the STD folder? I will never touch it- I add new buttons to the one in Files, so is it there to somehow make the STD folder operative? Just wondering...
Thanks for your patience , please respond to tell me I'm on the right track...in the meantime I'll give it a try.
